Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"As for Feynaport, the hospital initially believed that they had suffered serious Extraordinary contamination, but after an on-site investigation, no possible source of contamination was found. There were not even any Extraordinary items except for the stationed personnel."

"As for why we suppress the patients from speaking... When we first admitted them, except for some who had already buckled their vocal cords, the rest of the patients were trying to utter some strange syllables. These syllables were initially considered meaningless, just like babies trying to learn to speak, but they were always unable to utter meaningful words. For safety reasons, we suppressed their ability to speak to prevent them from actually saying anything."

"We made two copies of the recordings we collected to facilitate their research and investigation."

As she spoke, Andrea took out two finger-sized devices from the archives, turned on one of them and started playing.

Some horrible syllables echoed in the closed conference room. The patient's torn vocal cords were vibrating under the heavy burden, like a broken blower, desperately blowing the turbid wind mixed with mud and blood out of the speakers.

“…Uh…Ah…Ouch…”

Intermittent snowflake sounds and flickering fault sounds repeatedly crushed this painful recording. The abnormal distortion made Janina begin to doubt whether this was really the sound made by a human being, rather than an evil spirit sealed between layers of electronic circuits, howling to break free and curse everyone who heard him.

...It seems that this little girl hasn't experienced many extraordinary events...

Scott saw Janina's trembling, and his expression did not fluctuate at all.

It is not just extraordinary strength that can shake a person's mind and break his spirit.

This little girl probably had not been exposed to many extraordinary events before. Most of the time, she should be in a position to manage business activities in the family, and she does not need to participate in any extraordinary events. Therefore, when facing the ugliness of the extraordinary world, it is normal for this executive to be unable to accept it for a while.

Of course, this Janina should also have some extraordinary abilities. As a senior executive of a large group, she must have some means of self-defense. As for Abraham, a dog tycoon who has risen rapidly in the Sixth Epoch, although they have lived a relatively low-key life in the three hundred years since the "Sky Curtain War", it is still easy for them to use resources to pile up a low-sequence extraordinary person of sequence eight to sequence seven.

The creepy audio finally ended, but after a brief silence, another recording began, and then the next, and the next, and the next...

"...Okay, that's enough, no need to release it anymore..."

Pretending to be calm, Janina took away another device that was not playing.

"...Abraham will study it carefully later..."

Andrea turned off the recording, handed the equipment to Scott, and gave both of them a grateful smile.

"In addition, we have dispatched personnel over the past few days to collect all the routes and traces of the accident tractor, and took photos of them for evidence. This is a new supplementary photo file, please take a look."

Two brand new file envelopes were placed in front of Janina and Scott.

Scott took out the photos. In addition to some satellite route maps and the tragic scene of fallen crops, the thick bird's-eye view attracted Scott's attention.

This is a stack of aerial views taken by drones, fully showing the chaotic traces left by the out-of-control tractors in each accident farm. The muddy land and broken crops drew twisted circles on the ground one after another, squeezed together in a frantic and unnecessary way, and the complex and strange patterns were merged by these circles, more like meaningless graffiti painted by children.

Each farm gets a different trace of Chaos, and each route is different, but equally uncomfortable.

Experience had taught Scott that the traces left behind in these extraordinary events must have some profound meaning, but he currently had no clue what to make of these chaotic lines.

Several ideas popped up in Scott's mind, but after careful comparison, he found that there was no similarity at all, so he had to give up.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you a definite answer right now. I need to investigate later. The only thing I can be sure of is that these redundant lines must be hiding something they really want to convey."

Even though she didn't get an answer right away, Andrea nodded her thanks to Scott.

"In the past few days, we have conducted sufficient investigations within Feynetport. Among all the tractors involved, 98% were in safe operation, with legal procedures and compliance. The remaining dangerously driven tractors all belonged to other small farms in Feynetport. We at Feynetport believe that everything was normal in the use of our Earth Church, and the cause of this extraordinary accident was not on the part of our users, Feynetport."

"Therefore, we have sent a request to the Abraham Technology Group, which is responsible for the operation, and the Steam Church, which is responsible for the production, to thoroughly investigate the cause of this extraordinary incident and to find out whether this accident is an extraordinary incident."

Before Janina could speak, the file bag Scott had taken out had already slid in front of her.

Hey, little girl, it's my turn now.

"Everyone, this is the inspection report that our Steam Church just released. After we received the tractor last night, we organized people to complete this report overnight. The main inspection targets are two items: the mechanical condition of the tractor itself, and the condition of the installed software."

"The report also reported that we were conducting extraordinary screening in Saint Hillran Cathedral. We did not find any residual extraordinary contamination during this process. Of course, it is possible that this contamination is very hidden and cannot be discovered with our current means."

If that's the case, we're in big trouble, kids.

"The other half is conducted here in this research institute that is favored and protected by the God of Steam and Machinery. Therefore, under the watchful eyes of God, all the extraordinary forces involved in the inspection will be suppressed, and we will get the most realistic material situation."

...It's so corny...even Scott himself felt sick with the words.

"...Based on these inspection results, I believe that the hardware of the tractor was not the source of contamination in this incident."

"Moreover, the inspection of the software showed that all codes were running correctly, and the retained background logs were completely consistent with the actual operation without any omissions. From these records, we can see that the entire program is strictly executing commands."

"Executing... a tampered satellite positioning route."

Janina, who was reading the report, was shocked.

"You mean... it was Abraham's negligence that caused this accident?" Janina was a little dissatisfied with this conclusion. "If the source of the pollution came from the software, then Speed ​​Feather Company is also a big suspect."

"I just think that there might be something wrong with your Abraham satellite constellation."

Scott supported his head with one hand and slowly tapped the conference table with the other.

"Whether it is extraordinary detection or material detection, the software updated by Speed ​​Feather Company this time has shown extremely high quality, because no matter how we tested it, it has not had a single 'error' throughout the entire process. It is simply a perfect work of art..."

"Since this new version will not go wrong under any circumstances, and the core protocol you gave to Speedy Feather will not go wrong either, then can we reasonably suspect that it was your satellite that brought the wrong information from the sky?"

As a former technician, Janina keenly sensed something was not harmonious.

"...There is absolutely no chance of software running incorrectly...This is impossible! Unless this program is affected by an extraordinary power!"

"That's right. According to today's technology, it's impossible to have a code that won't make mistakes. It's just that we haven't encountered that specific situation. After this inspection, we believe that this perfect code is a 'product' of extraordinary power, not a 'carrier' of extraordinary power."

"That is to say, the generation of these programs involves extraordinary powers, but the programs themselves have no extraordinary powers - all codes are in line with programming logic!"

"…Even if you assume that the interference with the perfect program is well-intentioned, it proves that the problem lies with Speed ​​Feathers, not Abraham…"

"You sent out Beyonders to protect the members of this project team the day before the software went online, right?"

Scott interrupted suddenly.
